Chapter 24 Vicious Viper
Anna was furious to hear that. She raised her hand and slapped Hugo across the face.
“Don’t speak of such nonsense just because you had a bit of alcohol to drink. I’ve been with you for
seven years, and that’s what I get in return?”
Meanwhile, he had enough of getting hit by her whenever she pleased. Without any hesitation, he
raised his hand and slapped her back.
Thud!
The clear sound of the slap halted the child’s cries. Mitchell looked in the direction of the living room
with horror in his eyes.
He ran toward the living room with his chubby body.
Worried that they might hit the child in the middle of their fight, Mrs. Moore hurried after him. “Young

Anna was blind with rage. “Did you just hit me, Hugo Gray? That’s it.”
She lunged at him and started swinging both her hands at his face.
He immediately pinned her beneath him and held both her wrists down. “Anna Maxwell. You better
behave yourself. Don’t think I won’t hit you.”
“Hugo Gray, you b*stard!” She struggled with all her might.
“Mommy… Mommy…”
Mitchell used all his strength to pull Hugo’s arm. “Let go of Mommy, you bad person.”
In an instant, Hugo flung the child to one side and growled, “Behave yourself or I will beat you up too!”
Then, he turned to Mrs. Moore and instructed, “Take the kid to my mother’s place.”
Mrs. Moore was too afraid to say anything else. “Yes, Young Master Hugo.”
“I’m not going. I’m not going to Grandma’s house!” Mitchell cried out.
Mrs. Moore did everything she could to get him out of the room, dragging and hurling if she had to.
The room quieted down.
Seeing Anna’s tear-stained face, Hugo let her go. “You better watch your mouth around me next time.
Don’t hit me as you please. Do you think I won’t dare to hit you?”
She got up and pushed him as hard as she could. With tears in her eyes, she said, “You b*stard. Did I
marry you so you could hit me? How could you say that? What do you mean you’re not sure if the child
is actually yours?”
He glared at her. “Did you spike my drink that night? You also drugged Olivia and let another man rape
her, didn’t you? You’re really scary. Who knew you were this vicious of a woman?”
She stopped crying and her eyes were filled with shock. “Where did you hear that from? Who is trying
to drive a wedge between us?”
Looking at her, he sneered, “Are you acting again?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was so shocked that she completely forgot about the slap and continued to defend herself, “No, I
really like you. I admit that when I drank with you that night, I wanted to give myself to you, but I only
wanted to comfort you. Dear, we’ve been together for so long. We’ve gone through several degrees of
hardships together, and I even gave birth to Mitch. It makes me so sad to see you doubt me like this.”
Hugo pinched her chin. “Was I fooled by this pitiful face of yours? Who would have thought that you
were the reason Olivia and I broke up?”
At that moment, she seemed to put the pieces together. Grabbing his hand, she pressed, “Did Olivia
tell you that? She’s trying to drive a wedge between us. She still has a grudge against me for hurting
her child that day, so she’s trying to tarnish my name in any way that she can. You’re my husband. Why
do you believe another woman and not me?”
He pulled his hand back and said in a stern voice, “Anna Maxwell. I would rather believe Olivia than
believe you! I saw with my own eyes how you turned yourself into the victim in front of your father with
that smooth-talking mouth of yours. But I’m not your father; I won’t let you make a fool out of me.”
